San Diego Slab Leak Detection & Repairs

The concrete slab that serves as your home’s foundation is more than just a solid block on the land your home is built on; it also has wires and pipes running through it, including water and sewer main lines and much more. However, the pipes built into your slab could start to leak, creating a serious threat to your home.

What Causes A Slab Leak?

• Mildew or moisture under your flooring

• Spinning water meter when no water is running in your home
• Sewer-like smells (if the leak is in your sewer lines)

Repairing a Slab Leak

How do you fix a leaky pipe in your slab? Our team of skilled San Diego plumbers has a few different options available to them.

Pipe Re-Routing

For smaller issues in pipes that can’t be fixed with re-lining, sometimes you can simply work around the problem by routing the waterline away from the damaged pipe with a few feet exposed above ground. However, this is usually the best option only when needing to replace a few feet.

Re-Piping

This involves completely digging up the old line and putting a new one in. While this will put a stop to the leaks, it is intrusive and requires significant cutting into your floors and concrete slab to fix it. Usually, this is a last-ditch effort or reserved for only the most serious issues.
